Demolishing Dignity: The Eviction of Migrants in Ventimiglia

Ventimiglia, with its stunning natural beauty, becomes an ominous backdrop to a crisis that demands profound reflection on our collective priorities and values. The postcard landscape starkly contrasts with tired faces and stories of vulnerability that struggle each day to emerge from the dust and contempt. It is insufficient to justify the denial of hospitality with political rhetoric; it reflects a system that ignores the suffering of many in the name of false security.

The War on Gaza’s Impact on Education: Scholasticide in Modern-Day Conflict

The right to education is enshrined in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and even during wartime, under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Why, then, is the world turning a blind eye as schools in Gaza crumble, students are targeted and entire institutions collapse? The gradual normalization of educational violence is deeply troubling, highlighting a deeper decay of global values and human rights.

Le Diptyque DUNE: la voix d’un autre monde

Dune, c’est de la science-fiction réfléchie, qui existe en dehors de son genre. Dune, c’est une tirade de questionnements, c’est une tragédie grecque dans un univers lointain qui combine émotions et pragmatisme. Dune, c’est une passion débordante que l’on a polie pour en faire un diamant. Épice et tout.

Australia’s Colonial Logic of Child Imprisonment: How Indigenous Incarceration and Asylum Seeker Detention Violate Human Rights

Australia's treatment of children, particularly Indigenous and asylum-seeking children, violates global human rights standards and raises several critical questions: Why are these vulnerable children subjected to such mistreatment, and why does Australia continue to incarcerate and detain them unlawfully? What purpose are these punitive measures serving for Australia as an ongoing colonial project, and why are Australian people allowing such blatant violations of both national and global human rights to be carried out in their name?

Cairo in a Yellow Filter

The renowned Egyptian novelist Ahmed Khaled Tawfik, in his novel Utopia, offered an unfortunate vision of Cairo’s future: “They will leave the old capital to burn with its people, to fade away in oppression, poverty, and disease, while they move to their new capital, sparing their eyes from witnessing all that destruction.” Expanding on his words, it is clear that without intentional intervention in Cairo, Egypt is on the verge of a divided reality—a city burdened with poverty and decay on one side, and on the other, an astonishing new capital established with skyscrapers and lush green spaces. This is the future that hangs in the balance and only decisive change can prevent such a strife.

A Happiness Hypothesis

“I just want you to be happy.” At first glance, a wishful statement, a hopeful idea. But is this a burdensome phrase, a phrase pregnant with confusion and obsession? I don’t think I understand what happiness means.

Cette crise est donc révélatrice de défis de taille, mais également de discordances profondes concernant la politique agricole : alors, comment concilier ces revendications, comment satisfaire à la fois les agriculteurs qui souhaitent augmenter leurs productions et leurs revenus, tout en prenant en compte les enjeux écologiques du siècle, mis en avant par les partisans d’une transition agroécologique ?
